Today we have a guest post from Jetsetting Mum after her recent visit to Melbourne. What can I say, she really didn’t like Seoul Restaurant.
Ever since we came back from a trip to Seoul a few months ago, Jetsetting Dad and I have been yearning for some good authentic Korean food in Australia. We ate [...]
I’ve pretty much given up hope of getting a booking at MoVida nowadays, so I’m very grateful for its little offshoot MoVida Next Door, where I’m more likely to be able to walk into a table if I time it right.
Besides, MoVida Next Door has a frontage facing the passing parade of Flinders Street and [...]
When I first walked into Postal Hall, it reminded me a bit of an Eastern bloc railway station.
The sound of hissing steam bouncing off concrete, glass and metal surfaces. A high ceiling with exposed beams hanging a large functional clock. A brushed metal bench supporting people in transit, as they climbed onto red padded stools [...]
When I visited Gold Star Noodle House recently, I noticed the enormous lunch time queues for the nearby Pancake Dessert House and made a mental note to visit at some stage just to see what the fuss was about.
The next week, I was looking for a quick pre-movie dinner option and thought of the no-frills [...]
Today we have a guest post from Kylie, a writer for the sister blog BNE: HOT OR NOT, reviewing the rock chick film The Runaways. Thanks Kylie.
Floria Sigismondi is the director of some of the most impressive music videos of the past fifteen years. Her dark, seductive work has accompanied music by the likes [...]
Over a million of us watched Masterchef Australia every night, which means you’re probably familiar with the work of award winning Melbourne-based pastry chef, Philippa Sibley.
Being a HUGE dessert fiend, I’ve been a fan of Philippa’s work ever since I moved to Melbourne and she was cooking at three-hatted est est est.
Her latest venture is [...]
MIFF #5: Today’s we have another guest review from Yalin of the MIFF film (and potential upcoming general release TBC), I Love You Phillip Morris, which was released in the UK several months ago. Thanks Yalin!
The poster for I Love You Phillip Morris shows a gay couple with two pooches, Barbie-like hair and glowing skin. [...]
MIFF #4: I am going to disclaim responsibility for choosing to see Picture Me: A Model’s Diary at 9:15pm on a school night.
So RM and I were flicking through the MIFF program and he surprised me by saying that he wanted to see ‘a visual diary of Sara [Ziff]’s experiences within the sometimes glamourous, often [...]
MIFF #3: Today’s we have a guest review of the MIFF film and upcoming general release, Four Lions, from Yalin, who saw it in the UK several months ago.
Friends J+B were at the MIFF screening last night and thought that it was very funny and effective – a HOT. I have a preview pass to [...]
One advantage of living in a multicultural urban centre like Melbourne is the myriad of opportunities for trying out new cuisine with friends of different ethnic backgrounds who can guide you through the menu maze.
On my first visit to Singapore Chom Chom, I was glad that S, a Singaporean, was on hand to explain some [...]
